My Husband "Subvet" says that when our first son "Sonshine" was born the sun rose on our world, when our second son "Gator" was born the sun laughed and when our daughter "Sugars" was born all the flowers bloomed. That says it all.

Don't forget to "follow" Made by Mightymom in order to see all my latest creations. Go take a look!

We're getting ready for a fun week of VBS this week!

Had a bit of a mix up in my brain last week. I was soo engrossed in getting Father's Day stuff made/bought in time I forgot which week it was! I had my kids all ready to go and excited to the gills about our "surprise" for Daddy on Father's Day....uh, telling them the whole time that it was LAST SUNDAY!! So, well,..... we've already had our Father's Day celebrations thankyouverymuch! I sure wasn't gonna try to un-excite them and make em wait a week cuz Momma was a Mighty Doofus!!

Gator REALLY likes the Wonder Pets!

I didn't get a pic of the gigantic "celery" he made from all of the green Duplo (huge) Lego blocks! I LOVE this kid!! I really really do!

Well, I guess my 5 mile walk for March of Dimes last year did NOT kill me, but DID help to raise $700 to help with preemies like mine. And I have come across a shorter family walk for a different non-profit that I feel even MORE attached to The 2012 Dallas/Fort Worth Walk Now for Autism Speaks!!

Where does the money that Autism Speaks raises go?
From the Walk Now for Autism Speaks website:

Our participants continue to tell us they want to ensure that as many dollars as
possible raised through Walk Now for Autism Speaks go directly to provide
critically needed research and family services. We have listened and we agree.
Walkers and donors will know that more of their pledges are having a direct
impact on our mission.
For example: $250 Can provide four (4) Transition
Toolkits $500 Can provide nine (9) 100 Day
Kits $1000 Can provide twenty-five (25) Community
School Kits

I'm excited about this fundraiser and I hope you'll get excited with me.

My sister gave this cow to my kids SEVERAL years ago......I think 4 years?? I'll have to ask her.
Due to space restrictions the cow ended up in Sugars' room. I think it will be her lifelong companion.....I won't be surprised to see it in her dorm room in 15 years!

However, this cow will frequently spring a leak as its seams pull apart. So when we see a fair amount of stryofoam snow on her floor I go into the Bovine OR and stitch him back together. I'm ALMOST to the point where there's more seam that I've sewn than original. :-)

He came through the surgery well, and, as you can see, is fat and happy again. Ride em Cowgirl....

Our other morning activity consisted of Gator-boy's role play. Can you guess who he is??

My husband is Subvet.
We have a 12 year old son "Sonshine" and an 10 year old son "Gator-boy" These two are teaching us that Autism is Fun! We also have a 8 year old daughter "Sugars" who is teaching us how to stay on our toes like the best ballerinas. Each of them is perfect in every way.
